Colorful Munich, Germany

Munich is the capital and largest city of the German state
of Bavaria. It is located on the River Isar north of the Bavarian Alps. Munich
is the third largest city in Germany, after Berlin and Hamburg. About 1.56
million people live within the city
limits.

At the centre of the city is the Marienplatz, a large open
square named after the Mariensaule, a Marian column in its centre with the Old
and the New Town Hall. Its tower contains the Rathaus-Glockenspiel. Three gates
of the demolished medieval fortification have survived to this day the Isartor
in the east, the Sendlinger Tor in the south and the Karlstor in the west of
the inner city. The Karlstor leads up to the Stachus, a grand square dominated
by the Justizpalast and a fountain. Sources
